Three-time Grammy nominee Karrin Allyson is one of the most consistently engaging and versatile jazz singers performing today, and we never miss a chance to see or hear her. This album focuses on haunting songs of romantic yearning, many of them associated with pianist Bill Evans. Tunes include "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most," "Sophisticated Lady," "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows," Paul Simon's "April, Come She Will," and Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns."

"Allyson proves a master of mise en scène, staging 11 playlets that … shimmer with tender vibrancy. As always, her playlist is as intriguing as it is discerning…. Particularly stunning among this grand portrait gallery of wistfulness is Bill Evans' gently evocative 'Turn Out the Stars,' with its gorgeously poignant Gene Lees lyric, and Anthony Newley's underappreciated gem 'There's No Such Thing as Love'."—Jazz Times

"A jazz singer's jazz singer. As such she is well-studied in jazz outside of the vocal realm. This particular tool in her considerable skill set is responsible for her command of even demanding material…. Allyson's breezy, confident approach melds well with the impressionistic potential of the music."—All About Jazz
